100 Pushup Challenge

[Cheetah]

My Fiancee found this online and thought it was interesting so now I'm trying to see if I can reach a hundred:

I did my initial test a week ago and did 40. So I started on week 3 in the program.

Day 1: I was supposed to do 14,18,14,14 and then at least 18. I did 14,18,14,14 and just managed 18 with a short break.

Day 2: I was supposed to do 20,25,15,15 and then at least 25. I did everything barely and once again had to take a short break on the last set to get 25.

Day 3: Is 22,30,20,20 and at least 28. I'm going to try them in a few hours.


Has anyone else done this or want to try?

I'm in

but im confused

shouldnt it just be 100 in a row?

why the sets?

[CidIII]

Because most people can't do 100 in a row, it's a training program that eventually leads up to doing 100 consecutive push-ups.

[Archael]

oh ok... so um... alright

 I'm going to the gym tonight with a friend to do SHOULDERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS and

TRAPSSSSS



I'll see how many I can do

[Cheetah]

Well I got through my day 3 push-ups just barely again. I needed to take a 30 second break to finish the last 6 or my final set of 28.

Every football practice we had to do 100 in a row, without a single break.

[Cheetah]

That is good stuff, I have done 100 consecutive pushups before as well. But you have to build up to it and I'm just seeing if this program actually works.

[CidIII]

By Week 6 you'll be doing over 200 push-ups non-consecutively, I'd hope by that time you'd be able to do at least 100 in a row, if not more.

The 200 sit-up challenge would be really easy.

I only manged 43 on my first try,  good god am I out of shape..
